DALLAS (CBSDFW) - Many Dallas County building that were closed following the shooting in the downtown area on Friday are reopening Monday for regular business.
The George L. Allen Senior Civil Courts Building will re-open today, as will the Old Red Court House, the Dallas County Records Building and the Dallas County Administration Building in the old Texas School Book Depository.
If you are scheduled for jury duty on Monday, you are expected to attend.
Several streets in the downtown area will remain closed due to the ongoing investigation.
Commerce Street will reopen to normal vehicle traffic.However, the northside sidewalk will be blocked to pedestrian travel.
A number of federal investigators have been brought in to help Dallas Police to comb through every square inch looking for evidence. A senior ATF agent says this is one of the larger, more difficult crime scenes they have ever worked on - describing it as a jigsaw puzzle with pieces of evidence scattered across downtown and beyond.
DART's West End station is still closed. It is expected to be closed until Wednesday.
DART's Morgan Lyons says that means people coming into downtown Dallas on the Blue or Red Lines will have to get off at Union Station or Akard Station.
The West End station is in the area still blocked off as part of the police investigation after last Thursday's tragedy.
